Turkish League Round 23
The round before the international break started on Friday. Tarsus looks to be getting stronger at the right time with critical games coming up to keep them in the league and Danielle Robinson and Khadijiah Cave kept them close before losing to Galatasaray 90-87. The trio of Damiris Dantas, Sug Sutton, and Goksen Fitik led Orman to a 97-80 win over Kelsey Bone, Jaelyn Brown, and Antalya. Cankaya University is also making a late run to try and get out of the danger zone as Brooke McCarty-Williams and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough helped them edge Alanna Smith, Sydney Wiese, and company 87-83. Natasha Howard and Fenerbahce stayed perfect with an 87-69 win over Emma Cannon and Nesibe Aydin. The tough season is almost over for Betul Kutlu and Hatay after their 130-63 loss to Taya Reimer, Lindsay Allen, Natasha Mack, and Botas. On Saturday, Bursa was trying to get out of danger, but lost to Jaime Nared and Izmit 77-71. Cukurova started well, but the domestic struggles continued after Dana Evans and Besiktas left with a 75-70 win.

Ragusa defeated Campobasso 63-49 to keep the race for homecourt advantage in the playoffs close.
